The next morning, Du Shaoqing got up and went to the palace. Unexpectedly, in the Political Affairs Hall, Emperor Li Er was watching the sketch of Yan Liben.

Seeing that the proud son-in-law came, Li Er hurriedly asked someone to serve tea and see the seat, "Shaoqing, I didn't expect you to have the ability to paint a masterpiece. Yan Aiqing, the supervisor, said that this style of painting will be of great use and is used to chase thieves and robbing evil spirits. What do you think?"

Du Shaoqing nodded: "What Yan Dajiang said is right. Not only that, the son-in-law thinks it can be used for population registration in various places. In the past, when we registered and recorded our population, we mostly recorded our hometowns and past, and very few paintings were produced, and of course, because of the scarcity of painters.

However, today's painting method is simple and easy to learn, and can be popularized everywhere. As long as the painter is in place, the specific appearance of the people is created and everyone is in charge, the father-in-law may see further than the son-in-law."

Li Er laughed loudly. This son-in-law all talked about his heart. If everyone in the Tang Dynasty was in charge, then the people who committed crimes could immediately find it through the list. The criminals would be unable to move in the Tang Dynasty, and there would be no more mistakes within the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, this method can also be used to deal with foreign scouts and spies. The Tang Dynasty can truly achieve the iron barren land.

"But now there is a problem, which is also the reason why the son-in-law entered the palace, that is, our paper is scarce. Even if a large number of painters can be trained, this matter may be cut off because there is no paper available."

After being reminded by Du Shaoqing, Li Er came back to his senses from his excitement and sighed: "Yes, paper, it's paper again!

This paper is not just about painting. Do you know why the Tang Dynasty lacked scholars so much?

From ancient times to the present, many sages have determined to enlighten the people and educate sentient beings, but none of them have done this. The fundamental reason is that besides the well-known disagreement of the Hundred Schools of Contestation, it is also inseparable from this paper.”

Du Shaofei nodded. When he was fine, he thought about this matter carefully, "There is no book without paper. Even if some sages think about books and masterpieces left behind, because they cannot print and write books and spread widely, they often have isolated books or are lost.

The books that exist in the world are treasured, and ordinary people cannot access them. Even if the court wants to popularize education, it will not be distributed to the people. After all, it is helpless."

Li Er laughed and said, "I heard you went to Qinghe Cui to take a look. How about it? Have you been shocked?"

Subconsciously, Du Shaoqing nodded and said, "Shocking, the library of others is probably as big as the Taiji Hall of our Grand Chamber, and the collection of books is endless. If you let your son-in-law read it, you will be afraid that you will never finish it in your life. No wonder they have many talents."

"Oh? They are so generous, and they even let you enter your library?" Li Er looked at his son-in-law in surprise.

Du Shaoqing came to his senses and regretted it. He thought to himself, why am I talking about this? Have you forgotten this cheap father-in-law's suspicion?

"Maybe it's a show of flaunting, I went in and read the medical books. The people in the Cui family saw me as dissatisfied as enemies. They were all ignorant people who cherished themselves."

Li Er laughed: "You are better than the prince. The prince once asked for a kiss with Cui. He was humiliated and he didn't give me any face. I can give you some face to visit. It's great, don't be greedy."

"What my father-in-law said is, but the son-in-law thought he could give it a try. Maybe one day we can let his Cui family, even the five surnames and seven families, take the initiative to move out of the library and bow his head to surrender." Du Shaoqing said proudly.

"Don't be swearing, you are the five surnames and seven hopes that Cui is respected. I have to respect you three points. You can cover you in Chang'an, but it's best not to mess with them." Li Er reminded.

Of course he would not have thought that it was the old patriarch of the Cui clan of Qinghe who personally begged Du Shaoqing to demolish the Cui clan of Qinghe.

Nodding, Du Shaoqing was grateful for the father-in-law's care and slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot the serious business after chatting for a long time. My son-in-law came to ask my father-in-law for help and find some people for me. I want to see if I can study a new method of papermaking."

Li Er exclaimed, "You can make paper?"

"No, but I know a little bit. If there are skilled craftsmen, I might be able to improve it, which will definitely be useful." Du Shaoqing explained.

"You, you boy, are not a little bit of a tone. This is a big deal. Why didn't you say it earlier? If you can make cheap paper and produce enough production, hum, the five surnames and seven hopes, why should I give in to them again?

Tell me, what do you need?" Li Er waved his hand and said that he would give him whatever he wanted. Now he was very excited about this son-in-law who had repeatedly offered advice, wondering if he could give him another surprise at this time.

Du Shaoqing thought for a moment and said, "A large enough workshop in the city requires a batch, at least one batch, skilled craftsmen, it is best to have old craftsmen."

"I will give you all, I will arrange for someone to do it today, and there will be someone in the craftsman palace. In addition, I will issue another order to summon paper craftsmen to Chang'an to listen to your arrangements. I only have one requirement. No matter how much the price is, it must be done."

"There is another one, a private request." Du Shaoqing added.

Hum? Li Er was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "Tell me, do you want money or official? If you want it to, as long as it is not outrageous."

Du Shaoqing was speechless. Am I that greedy? Does it look like I am here to take advantage?

"Ahem, don't even want them. If you want these people to gossip, you won't be able to use them.

The son-in-law wants this business, and once this matter is done, give me the new paper business." Du Shaoqing expressed his purpose, which is also his purpose. He won the future papermaking business. In fact, what he didn't say is that he had contacted with papermaking before, and as long as he gave it to skilled workers, he would definitely improve it.

Hearing the condition of his son-in-law, Li Er couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You kid is not a shortage of money, why do you have to do the business of that merchant? You have lost your identity in vain."

"There is no way, the family is short of money, the clinic is a loss-making business, and Changle Home is a bottomless pit. I am still preparing for the reconstruction plan of Chang'an urban area, demolition compensation, reconstruction, etc. If you don't start other businesses, you may really not be able to play." Du Shaoqing cried and said poorly.

After hearing this, Li Er did not refuse, thinking that this son-in-law is definitely a loyal minister. There are so many good things that he is rushing to pay for money. This is a different way to help the treasury save money.

"Okay, it's accurate. The urban renovation plan is being discussed in the final discussion. You can't bear all the money alone. At that time, the six ministries and yamen will come out to cooperate with you. This is a good thing, but be cautious when implementing the specific implementation and not let the people complain." Li Er nodded.

Du Shaoqing smiled and won so many projects, and he was already happy. The court took the initiative to help him take charge of the demolition. It would be difficult for him, a real estate tycoon, to be underdeveloped.

"Don't rush to go back. You're here. Draw a full body image for me first before leaving." Li Er called out Du Shaoqing who was about to say goodbye.

Du Shaoqing's scalp was numb, so why did he ask for paintings wherever he went? My poems were good, so why didn't anyone ask for poetry?

"Next time, I'm so busy today." He refused, but was actually scared. If he met a familiar minister to discuss matters one after another and gave it to the painting, he might not be able to leave the Political Consultative Hall today.
